I want to have a zero-tassel type of ending for my alpha. It's not a bracelet, I want it to have a clean end, parallel to the final row. Is that possible?
I cannot find any tutorials that have something like that. They all just show tassel-styles.

This will be a key-chain for a motorcycle, and also for a man, so tassels=bad. I also don't want it to be a triangle end. I just want a straight line, 🤔

Any guidance will be helpful! <3

Thnx!

I don't really have any experience on this so here are some ideas
Cut all the string so it is a straight line and then put clear nail polish or glue to keep the knots from falling apart
you could do some kind of twisted tie or braided pattern
Maybe just tie one big knot to end it and cut the excess string
A crimped ending
maybe trying to tuck the excess string back into the knot?
I hope this ideas help and feel free to ask questions if they don't make sense
Happy knotting!

Thnx Kallicat for all your suggestions!

Since this is my first alpha, I hadn't had any opportunity to try other methods... but will keep them in mind.

I'm going to attempt the tutorial though 😉 😇
